When I did my tape lace wall hanging in heavy, slubbed weaving linen, I used tapestry bobbins which I purchased from Ashfords, a New Zealand company who have an agent close to Cooma. They are about 7 inches long and look somewhat like an overgrown Honiton bobbin, with a longer neck and more bulbous body, tapering to a point. They held a lot of thread. A Google search of "tapestry bobbins" turned up a wide range of USA suppliers.
